Congress needs to learn the hard way that the old playbook wonāt cut it in 2024. Times have changed. After President Trumpās sweeping victory and massive mandateānot to mention his team of heavy-hittersāthe days of ramming through 1,500-page garbage bills must come to an end.
This latest battle is over another massive spending bill Congress is trying to ram through. Itās a bloated, secretive $50 billion package stuffed with āfavorsā before Trump takes office. This is a betrayal by Johnson, and it cannot pass. If it does, every Republican who votes for it should lose their jobāno questions asked.
But the fight is just starting – and the big guns are aimed at Speaker Johnson. Steve Bannon, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy are locked and loaded, ready to politically annihilate him over this latest bill. And have you seen the size of this thing? You really think anyone in Congress has read it?

And what are some of the little gems buried in that massive bill? Well, for starters, a hefty raise for the very people who are screwing us over.
WOW Buried in the 1500 page spending bill is a 40% PAY INCREASE FOR CONGRESS
Members of Congress salary will be increased from $174,000 to $243,000 per year
FOR WHAT?? Selling us out??
We knew this was coming, Hereās US Congress Members saying they need a raise and cost of living adjustments
Theyāre so broke āUpwards of 100 Congress members actually sleep in their officeā
Reminder many members of Congress are worth HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS from insider trading

Vivek is busy reading the bill right now – something nobody in Congress – the guys who want a raise – have done. Elon Musk responded to Vivek’s post, and threw down, making it clear that the bill should not pass.

And Mikeās response to Elonāand the American peopleās concern? Basically, ātough sh*t.ā This level of betrayal is unacceptable. Mike needs to go, and this should end his political career in complete and total disgrace.
Speaker Mike Johnson: āElon Musk told me he doesnāt like the spending bill. I told them – I donāt either. We just have to get this done.ā
Mike needs to go!

āMr. Speaker, itās not just so youāve got a bunch of Republicans who are angry at you. They donāt like this,ā Doocy said, adding context to hisĀ futureĀ as House Speaker. āAnd just in a couple of weeks, youāre going to stand once again to run for Speaker of the House. And you donāt need a bunch of Democrats mad at you.ā
āBut, you know, and this is breaking news,ā Doocy said. āYou do not know. You know, who also does not like this? Elon Musk, the worldās richest man, just tweeted: āThis bill should not pass.ā The only way youāre going to be able to pass it now, Mr. Speaker, is with Democrats. If you if you could, whatās your message to Elon Musk?ā
āWell, I was communicating with Elon last night. Elon, Vivek and I are on a text chain together and I was explaining to them the background of this. And the Vivel and I talked last night about almost midnight,ā Johnson replied. āAnd he said, āLook, I get it.ā And he said, āWe understand youāre in an impossible position. Everybody knows that.’ā
āRemember, guys, we still have just a razor-thin margin of Republicans,ā he continued. āSo any bill has to have Democrat votes. They understand the situation. They said itās not directed at you, Mr. Speaker, but we donāt like the spending. And I said, guess what, fellows? I donāt either.ā
āWe got to get this done because hereās the key ā By doing this, we are clearing the decks and we are setting up for Trump to come in, roaring back with the America First agenda. Thatās what weāre going to run with gusto beginning January 3rd, when we start the new Congress, when Republicans again rent control and all of our fiscal conservative friends, Iām one of them, will be able to finally do the things that we have been wanting to do for the last couple of years.ā Johnson concluded.
No, Mike. This is a stab in the back to President Trump and all the American people who voted for sweeping change, not Congressional BS as usual.
Meanwhile, rounding out the MAGA heavy-hitter team is Steve Bannonāthe biggest powerhouse of them all. And he didnāt hold back. Bannon went after Speaker Johnson with the fire of a thousand suns. Steve said Johnson is living in “La La Land.” Indeed. But more like “uniparty” land, Steve. Either way, Johnson is the poster boy for RINO: Republican in Name Only. While pretending to be on our side, he spends the bulk of his time doing the biding for the left. Bannon is right, he’s a Dem with a CR vote.
And in case you don’t know the abbreviated term, a CR vote (Continuing Resolution vote) is when Congress approves a temporary spending bill to keep the government running when they canāt agree on a full budget in time.

Itās painfully clear that Speaker Johnson isnāt a ādisrupter.ā Heās just another guy clinging to the old guardās way of doing shady, anti-American business. But in this new MAGA era, thatās not going to cut it. Times have changed, and if Johnson canāt get on board, heāand his establishment agendaāmust go.
